In a curious incident today, Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, posted to the P2P Foundation Forums for the first time since 2011.

It is likely that one of Satoshi's email accounts was hacked to gain access to the forum.

Today at 5:00 AM Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous inventor of Bitcoin, posted the enigmatic word "Nour" to his P2P Foundation account, his first post since 2011.

P2P Foundation is a small online forum used to discuss peer to peer alternatives for existing technologies.

In addition to posting the strange comment, the account added Wagner Tamanaha to his friends list.

According to his social media profiles, he appears to be a P2P member based out of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Tamanaha has not commented on the P2P forums before, but from his linked social media pages he appears to have a degree in communications, and has no online presence in the terms of coding or software development.

" I asked for a friend request from that Satoshi account near one year ago and for my surprise it was accepted today.

I did that request because another Brazilian was listed in Satoshi P2P Foundation account.

Going forward, it is unlikely that Satoshi Nakamoto would reveal himself given the controversy and liability associated with the creation of Bitcoin.
